Karla's Kolumn

One of our co-workers here at the Daily News had a birthday this week. He was very excited about it. Something you don’t see a lot with people who are let’s say over 40. There’s the old joke about “I’m 29 again.”

I myself have been 29 for “a few” years we’ll say. After my best friend and I turned 29 we thought we’d join the crowd and not count anymore so instead we started counting holidays. Her birthday is one day before Halloween and mine is near Flag Day.

However, after several “holiday” celebrations we’ve come to realize the importance of birthdays.
